New audio demo reel service built with Meteor: ReelCrafter

nice typography! (always nice to see something besides Lato and Roboto) :grinning:

SHIP SHIP SHIP!!! Great stuff and congrats to this great service!!

Being an audio-engineer myself I totally get what you are doing here. :slight_smile:

One other comment: The site feels quite slow. Clicking around there is a LOT of latency, p.e. cliicking “start your testdrive” just took me > 5 seconds to load the signup https://app.reelcrafter.com/signup. Clicking “https://reelcrafter.com/create-audio-reels-pricing/” tool around 1-2 seconds to load. Just out of interest: where is the site hosted? Did you use any proxy technology like ngnix yet?

Weird. The landing page might not be the greatest - it’s just a boring old CMS (so I can have non-tech people easily make changes). The web app itself is hosted on Galaxy.

The thing is that I am in germany and maybe I am feeling some atlantic latency? I guess its hosted in the us?

That could be. Galaxy hosts in the Amazon us-east-1 region.

It also takes me 5-7 seconds to get the first load. You can think about putting the js to a CDN

@diaconutheodor @thebarty I forced CloudFlare to cache *.js files. Should be better now?

I confirm twice or trice faster. GJ.
